Fish Bait
 
Mash up soft soap and then form into balls. You can either form the balls on the hooks or leave holes and tie them on later. (I form it around hooks.) Leave in freezer overnight. Put it in a plastic container and put it in your cooler on the way to the old fishin' hole. Good for catfish, crappie, and bass.

The World's Record Small Mouth Bass was caught with a piece of lye soap a few years ago. It's hanging at the Bass Pro Shop in Springfield, Missouri. When I die, I want to go to Bass Pro...

For extra oompf, spray soap with anise oil. Note: In some states it is illegal to use anise, so check with the local Game and Fish people in your state.
